@BrittanyH, thanks for the kudos on the review! I’m still not done with the series. It seems I have a lot up catching up to do! When I do catch up, I will post another review, never fear!

I love this anime so much. I can’t being to count how many times i cried during most parts. It was really well acted like hmm how to explain. In my opinion it was acceted like they were in a hollywood studio. I loved all of the actors and actresses. While some of them used more then once can get annoying. But with this anime i can hardly tell the young boy who played robin was spectacular he such an amazing actor just like the rest of them. I was also surprised how close the english dubbing was to the original japanese i watched in it subtitle to compair. Princess tutu was an other amazing anime as well. These two anime never get enough attention its always about the unoriginal naruto and bleach blah i can deal without those two. I’ll stand by for another review the review was amazing as well.

@Derek, I agree the story slowed down a bit after the third volume. Weird how it did that after it seemed like it would be super strong through the end. But it’s still a fantastic series, one which made full use of what the anime medium has to offer.

Love the series, but it got rather disappointing after the third volume. Watched it all though. I think it’s worth it, somewhat, to see how it all plays out.

As far as the comments about voice acting go: As much as I agree with Rachel, I do wonder about certain animated movies (Metropolis, for instance) that have a French audio option. But I don’t claim to know anything about that area of the industry. I think people can and should watch anime in whatever language they please.

More on topic, the music is amazing and historically, the anime is extremely close. It’s a perfect blend of historical twists, political intrigue and supernatural arts. Also, the voice acting and art are to die for.

@ Guerino della Scrittore, “If it was a period piece it would be in neither Japanese nor English, it would be in eighteenth century French.” That would be the bees knees but not necessarily financially possible.

Distribution companies already have to dub anime series in English for American audiences who prefer the dub. I can’t see them translating the dialog into French and then subtitling that as well.

I can’t speak about whether the Japanese would go along with a foreign language dub and get rid of the Japanese version altogether in these instances.

I imagine they’re just as picky about good voice acting as we are. Hell, they’ve perfected the art of voice acting!

And many anime fans, myself included, find some English dubs appalling. It’d be fantastic to have English speaking voice actors that are on par with their Japanese counterparts. Thus far, we’re still not even close to the quality the Japanese re producing.

If it was a period peice it would be in neither Japanese nor English, it would be in eighteenth century French. Anime fanatics have got to stop obsessing with watching things in Japanese, especially if they aren’t set in Japan. Hellsing is set in England so watch it in English, Gunsmith Cats is set in Chicago so watch it in English. Watch Samurai Champloo in Japanese, that is actually set in Japan.
